I will start with a personal story. After my father passed away last year, I was left as the only male remaining in my immediate family. My mother and six sisters keep me busy. Most of my sisters are Democrats but a few are Republicans. They might disagree on certain issues but if there is one thing they are united on, it is the belief that a woman has a choice and that all women should be entitled...
As we noted before, 64 Democrats voted against women's right to health insurance funded abortion procedures . Many of these Democrats have claimed the ultimate fallacy: That proponents of forced pregnancy shouldn't "pay with their tax money" for abortions because it infringes on their civil liberties. As if anti-war activists and pacifists could claim the same when it comes to funding the...
The House voted yesterday and the anti-women's health Stupak amendment passed 240 to 194 with one member voting present. 64 Democrats voted yes on the...
In a lengthy post, Gates of Vienna posts recommendations on women’s rights and Sharia law: Participating States must point out to all religious groups that men and women enjoy quality before the law. In addition, participating states should punish violations according to the law. Participating states should particularly focus on the following: 1. Inheritance laws must be enforced equally [...]...
by Lucida Marshall, Feminist Peace Network Women’s reproductive rights were severely compromised to appease 41 members of Congress. The final vote on the health care bill was 220-215, so only a few of those votes were needed in the first...
Health Care, Women's Rights, and 8 Years of Cat Crap. By Lisa Daily I was riveted by the health care vote. I'm not sure if I was the only person in the country glued to C-SPAN on Saturday night, or...

DOWNLOADS: (33) PLAYS: (99) I want to propose a new amendment be added during the conference committee when the House and Senate get together to merge the health-care reform bills. I know the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops will love it, since they are officially members of Congress now. Here it is. All pro-life male members of Congress who ejaculate without the express intent of making a baby...
"November 7, 2009 — This evening, the House of Representatives voted to adopt the Stupak/Pitts amendment. Planned Parenthood condemns this unacceptable addition to the health care reform bill that, if enacted, would result in women losing health benefits they have today. Simply put, the Stupak/Pitts amendment will restrict women’s access to abortion coverage in the private health insurance...
The Stupak Amendment -- "a dramatic departure from current law which would restrict a women's right to choose" -- passed 240 to 194. Sixty-four (64) Democrats voted for it. Here are the traitors' names. ( Roll Call ) Oh looky, my soon-to-be-primaried Congressman Jim Cooper is one of the 64 Dems who voted to throw women's rights under the bus. As Rayne over at Firedoglake observes: 64 Dems...
It looks like the Democrats are going to be able to pass a solid health care reform through the House, i.e., one that includes a meaningful public option. But also one that throws women's right to choose out the window. As Jane Hamsher writes in NARAL and Planned Parenthood: Ineffectiveness Anti-Choice Democrats Can Rely On Huffington Post 11/07/09: Democrats in Congress have just proudly signed a...
With several of my past photos having been taken out my automobile window, you must think I spend my waking hours in a car. I was actually a passenger when I took this photo. Belgrade Boys are a particular group of Red Star soccer team fans gone bad...hooligans in the worst sense, but this blog isn't the place to go into that. Google if you like. Not a group to emulate, and I can only hope that the...
Posted by Sherry Colb In my column this week, located here , I discuss a case in which plaintiffs challenge the constitutionality of a federal criminal law that prohibits the provision of compensation to bone marrow donors. I consider the arguments for prohibiting markets in various zones of life and how the general arguments fare in the particular context of bone marrow donation. In this post, I want...
In a post earlier today , I talked about the clipboard people, as I do in today’s Impromptus . These are the people -- lefties, young -- who stand on the sidewalk and accost you about politics, wanting you to sign something. This topic has provoked a ton of mail, and I want to give you just a brief, fun sampling, before getting off it: “When they come up to me, I always say, ‘Sorry,...

A woman starts her journey as a daughter fulfilling the expectations of her family. She then becomes a wife, and supports the needs of her family. As a mother, then she becomes an epitome of sacrifice and surrenders completely for the needs of her child. In the old age, she plays an important role in holding her family together and providing guidance to the youngsters. She plays all these roles with...
Women's Equality Day Proclamation | Women's Equality Day Quotes The date was selected to commemorate the 1920 passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, granting women the right to vote.
